It contains a Texas Instruments bq24072RGT (for the 3ds XL) which is a 1.5A Li-Ion USB 5V Battery Charge Controller rated for operation between 4.35 and 6.4 V with over-voltage protection upto 28V (do not attempt to connect the 3ds to anything more than a 5V). Your USB port must be able to provide 2A of current as this charger does not negotiate its power usage and just attempts to draw its constant current assuming the supply is sufficient to supply that level of charging. If you use a cheap USB power supply it may not be able to provide a clean 1.5A supply and could generate a lot of noise on the power signal and or drop out randomly which can cause problems. Use a quality original 2A power supply and the cable should work fine. Most newer computers can easily provide 2A charging current on ports now as well. **Q: It says it works the the DSi/XL. It does NOT and is nonreturnable. Has anyone had this problem?** A: I got some weird phone amplifier thing instead of the charger... Waiting to see if I can actually get what I ordered. Today I got an email saying they are refunding my money and I can do what I want with the piece I recieved... Now on the search for a charger that is actually what it says it is... They made it right. Thanks Amazon! **Q: Is this compatible with the 2ds aswell?** A: Doesn't work for mine. Not sure I got the right cable. **Q: Is this compatible with the 2Ds?** A: yes 2ds and 3ds use same type of charging port so this should work just fine ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Nintendo 3DS Owner Needs This *by R***R on 3 September 2015* I've tested this out with the Aukey 20000mAh Portable External Battery, and it performed as expected.

The official charger has very similar values to standard USB electrical specifications, so swapping in this USB charging cable works in place of the original. Be sure to use a source that provides 0.9 A or more of current for good measure. As for connecting this cable, it works well with computers and other components that deal specifically with charging, such as USB chargers or batteries. Additionally, the DSi or 3DS cannot charge when the system is in use with this cable, so it will need to be turned off or in sleep mode. When you charge and play at the same time, it attempts to charge but fails to do so. Barring the need to charge when turned off or in sleep mode, the USB charging cable allows more sources to charge from using the commonly available USB ports. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gen USB Charge Cable for Nintendo 3DS/DSI/DSIXL - AUSTOR Hard Carrying Case for New 3DS XL Black/Blue - AFUNTA Protective Carrying Case for Nintendo NEW 3DS XL, with Hard Cover and 2 pcs Screen Protectors, Hard Shell Travel Bag, Protective Films for Top and Bottom Screen --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/267942883-gen-usb-charge-cable-for-nintendo-3ds-dsi-dsixl](https://www.desertcart.de/products/267942883-gen-usb-charge-cable-for-nintendo-3ds-dsi-dsixl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
